GROUPS//
RMKS/1. THE NAVY SEA CADET CORPS (NSCC) IS A NON-PROFIT YOUTH
ORGANIZATION SPONSORED BY THE NAVY LEAGUE OF THE UNITED STATES.
THEIR GOAL IS TO ACQUAINT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH THE NAVY AND
INTRODUCE THEM TO THE VALUES OF MILITARY SERVICE. FOLLOWING HIGH
SCHOOL, THE MAJORITY OF SEA CADETS ENTER THE SEA SERVICES IN EITHER AN
ENLISTED OR OFFICER PROGRAM. APPROXIMATELY 12 PERCENT OF EACH ENTERING
CLASS AT THE U.S. NAVAL ACADEMY IS PRIOR SEA CADETS.
2. IN EVERY STATE THROUGHOUT OUR NATION, SEA CADETS ACTIVELY INTRODUCE
OUR NAVY TO TODAY'S YOUTH - WE MUST SUPPORT THEIR EFFORTS.
THE PROGRAM'S GREATEST NEEDS ARE QUALIFIED ADULT LEADERS AND TRAINING
OPPORTUNITIES ON BOARD SHIPS, BASES, AND STATIONS. NAVY PERSONNEL,
THROUGH INVOLVEMENT AND SUPPORT OF THE NSCC, DIRECTLY IMPACT THE
READINESS OF TOMORROW'S NAVY BY MENTORING THE NEXT GENERATION OF
LEADERS. REF A PROVIDES GUIDANCE CONCERNING COMMAND ASSISTANCE TO THE
NSCC.
3. NAVY COMMANDS AND PERSONNEL ARE ENCOURAGED TO FULLY SUPPORT SEA
CADET UNITS, PARTICULARLY THOSE UNITS LOCATED IN AREAS WHERE NAVY
PRESENCE IS LIMITED. OPERATIONAL COMMANDS ARE ENCOURAGED TO INVITE
NSCC UNITS TO TRAIN ON BOARD, IF SCHEDULES PERMIT. ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION CAN BE OBTAINED BY CONTACTING NAVY RECRUITING COMMAND OR
THE NSCC HEADQUARTERS. DIRECT LIAISON WITH NSCC UNITS IS AUTHORIZED
AND ENCOURAGED.
